Anger is often a cover for fear or sadness. Underlying most anger is a deeper emotion, one that feels paralyzing or helpless. Since sadness and fear feel weak, but anger feels strong and powerful, many people use anger to deal with depression or anxiety. My approach to anger is twofold: 1), to help you learn techniques on how to manage your anger and deal with people and situations that trigger your anger, and 2) to understand the feelings underlying anger and how to overcome those in order to reduce the amount of anger in the first place. Deciding to get help for your anger is a courageous first step toward improving your quality of life and your relationships.

I would say that most people in society walk around with anger, not necessarily what someone would refer to as "anger issues" but anger even if it is subconscious. It can sabotage healthy thinking and decisions. There are ways to address anger and it's not complicated. Addressing anger can very often reduce or stop feelings of anxiety or depression.
